Ashlee O'Brien
Ashes & Vellichor

My name is Ashlee and I'm a wife, mother, and border collie mom. I live on an island off the coast of WA, but I’m originally from FL. I’m a Virgo, Ennegram5, INFJ, neurodivergent (adhd), and Slytherin. I started unofficially designing in 2016, but made it FB official in 2019. Ironically, I designed graphic teasers and book trailers in the beginning. My first book cover design was in 2020 .

What started as a book trailer business turned into a full graphic design service. I've worked with so many amazing authors, book boxes, and other designers for over six years. I've formed some of my closest relationships in this book world and watched countless new authors turn into bestsellers. What started as a hobby, has evolved into a passionate drive to help each client bring their story to life. You can find examples of my work here on my website and social media, along with exclusive book covers featured in various monthly book boxes.

Ashlee joined the TMB family in 2022.
